A lot of case-insensitivity is present for dealing with case-insensitive file systems; when looking at a distribution, the case of the name often doesn't matter. For importable names, case *does* matter; Python bothers to verify case on case-preserving file systems. I've seen very few cases where case-insensitivity in package names is tolerated (once, I think). There's no reason to spread the case-senseless disease any further. -Fred -- Fred L.
